This is a guy that has worked hard on his golf ediquitte. He WAS immature and somewhat of the a jerk on the golf course when he started on the tour. I give him credit for how far he has come. He credits the folks around him especially his caddy for setting him straight. It is fun to watch him play. I did not know if his putting stroke could hold up, but it did and yesterday will change his life. Great tournament and congrats to Bubba.

Nice story about the "intervention":
Bubba Watson

The only thing I did not see at the end was Watson shaking hands with Oosthuizen or his caddy. Bubba got so caught up in the moment it seemed he left 'Oosty' hanging. I could be wrong and might have missed it and of course it is explainable with the emotions, but still IMO he should have shaken hands with his competitors before Mom got to him or right after and I did not see that....
